As to the rest of what you said, I see the employer, employee relationship as being much like a partnership, where two parties with similar interests operate on a mutually agreed upon contract. As far as being a rich & spoiled inheritor, I inherited no more than you did.
America got industralised with the protective tariffs. It is you - free market fundies who want to bring buggies and subsistence farming back.
I get pretty tired hearing this. When those industries became obsolete, there were replacement industries for the workers to transfer to. Now, industries are not becoming obsolete, rather the jobs in those still viable industries are being sent overseas and there are no replacement industries for displaced workers to transfer to.
I would point out that by importing guest workers here with no immigration status (the H and L visas) the government is interfering on one side of the contract to the detriment of the workers thus we do not have a free market via teh government intervention.
